Today in Tech: 1.3 million Android devices activated daily, says Eric SchmidtSeptember 6, 2012: 1:11 PM ET
Amazon's potential plans for your TV; Twitter sales trump Facebook's.
Eric Schmidt: "There are now 1.3 million Android device activations per day" [TECHCRUNCH]
Android is growing at a rapid pace. Last December there were 700k devices activated each day. Then, earlier this summer, that number was at 900k. One month later in late July it hit 1M. Now, in early September, there are 1.3M devices activated every single day.
Schmidt later added that there are close to 500 million Android devices worldwide right now. As comScore noted the other day, that'a factor of at least two or three times greater than the competitor.
Does Amazon have its own TV plan? [ALLTHINGSD]
So here's another theory: Maybe Jeff Bezos will show off a video box for the living room. I've heard this one floated a couple times today, but not from anyone who claims to have firsthand knowledge of Amazon's plans. But people who do know what they're talking about tell me that Amazon made an offer to buy Roku, the Web TV box maker that competes with Apple TV, earlier this year. Roku ended up raising a big $45 million round led by News Corp. and BSkyB instead (News Corp. also owns this Web site).
Twitter tops Facebook in mobile ad sales [CNNMONEY]
According to the eMarketer report, Twitter will rake in $129.7 million in mobile advertising in 2012, while Facebook will sell $72.7 million worth of mobile ads. But Facebook may be due for a big mobile surge in the next few years. The social network's U.S. mobile revenues are expected to surpass Twitter next year and leave it in the dust by 2014, when eMarketer forecasts Facebook's mobile ads will top $629 million, compared to Twitter's $441 million.
Wikikpedia founder Jimmy Wales attacks government's 'snooper's charter' [THE GUARDIAN]
Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, has sharply criticised the government's "snooper's charter", designed to track internet, text and email use of all British citizens, as "technologically incompetent".
He said Wikipedia would move to encrypt all its connections with Britain if UK internet companies, such as Vodafone and Virgin Media, were mandated by the government to keep track of every single page accessed by UK citizens.
According to Spotify's public accounts for 2011, it had about $236 million in revenue, 83 percent of which was from subscriptions, and the company paid $229 million in "costs of sales," including royalties, distribution costs and other unspecified expenses. After salaries and other costs, its net loss for the year was $57 million.
The blame, according to analysts, falls on TV makers. "The user experience is not good because the interfaces are not easy to navigate on the sets," says Riddah Patel, NPD DisplaySearch research director of Consumer Insights. This is made worse because each TV manufacturer has its own user interface conventions. Imagine if each computer you used had an entirely different operating system, one of eight or 10 types, rather than simply Mac or Windows.

Unlocked Galaxy Nexus gets Google Wallet, sells directly for $399
- 25 April, 2012 08:20
Google said Tuesday it was going direct to consumers again, selling the Galaxy Nexus smartphone on Google Play for $399. The unlocked smartphone will also run the Google Wallet mobile payment app.
Currently, only Sprint is supporting Google Wallet through its own version of the Galaxy Nexus device, as well as the new LG Viper 4G and LG Optimus Elite. Sprint originally had Google Wallet in September on the Nexus S.
Google Wallet will also be available on the LG Optimus Elite from Virgin Mobile, Google said in a blog post.
While Google Wallet first emerged eight months ago, adoption of the mobile payment technology has been slow. A Google spokesman recognized that fact.
"It's still very early days for mobile payments and we know [it] will take time to building a new mobile commerce ecosystem, but we're very committed to this goal and are encouraged by the progress we've made to date," Google spokesman Nate Tyler said by email.
Tyler said Google has been encouraged by a recent Pew poll that found 65% of respondents believe that using a smartphone as a form of payment will become widely adopted by the end of the decade.
The study, dated April 17, was based on an online sample of 1,021 Internet users and experts and was conducted by Pew Research Center and Elon University's Imagining the Internet Center.
Many mobile payment experts credit Google for moving ahead with mobile payments despite some public concerns about security with such systems. Mobile payments using NFC chips inside phones are popular in countries such as Japan, South Korea and China, especially for transit fares and small retail purchases. Adding more NFC phones is seen as critical to U.S. adoption.
In addition to Google's work with Sprint on mobile payments, Isis, a joint venture of AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA, is set to launch mobile payments this summer in the U.S.
Google's Galaxy Nexus phone supports Google Wallet on Sprint and in its unlocked version, but notably not on Verizon's version of the Galaxy Nexus.
This new unlocked and contract-free Galaxy Nexus is a GSM phone that can be used on T-Mobile or AT&T.
Google is also working to encourage merchants to support mobile wallet marketing, and recently posted deals for free merchandise at select drugstores in New York City, among other promotions mentioned on its blog.

Natural gas drilling in NewYork State, which is to take place next year, is suffering from criticism by various environmental groups. They are demanding for strict regulations for it. Mark Ruffalo, a famous activist is in favor of the complete ban of this drilling process. He is of the opinion that the nation should meet it needs from renewable energy resources, rather than relying on fossil fuel.
Famous actor, director and screenplay writer, Mark Ruffalo is roaming around the Newyork state using his status to campaign for a ban on hydrofracking. Horizontal hydraulic fracturing is a process in which water and some others chemicals are enforced into a fine grained rock under the ground, in order to obtain gas. Environmental experts are of the opinion that this process of drilling may impart negative impacts and certain risks to the aquifers and may also affect the value of the air. Continue reading

The funny thing is that the one on Metta is not a flop. He actually was fouled - by rule you can not use to hands to impede someones forward progress. Metta has made a career by grabbing and holding. I love how even when the NBA refs are trying to do a good thing they get it wrong.
Report: NBA fines Nets' Evans for second violation of flopping policy
By Ben Golliver
One of the NBA's most notorious floppers has become the first player fined under the league's new anti-flopping program.
Yahoo! Sports reported Wednesday that the NBA will fine Nets forward Reggie Evans $5,000 for his second flopping violation after he simulated a foul during a Tuesday night game against the Lakers. Evans was one of several players singled out in the NBA's official video introducing its anti-flopping policy.
Evans was officially warned on Saturday for violating the league's flopping policy during a Nov. 15 game against the Celtics. Evans became the fourth player to be warned for flopping, following Timberwolves guard J.J. Barea, Cavaliers guard Donald Sloan and Thunder guard Kevin Martin, but he is the first to receive a second strike, which carries an automatic fine. A third violation will bring a $10,000 fine, a fourth violation will cost $15,000 and a fifth will run Evans $30,000. After that, Evans would be subject to increasing fines and/or suspension.
On his first flop, Evans grappled with Celtics forward Jared Sullinger for rebounding position. When Sullinger swung out his left arm to free himself from Evans, the Nets forward reacted as if he had been struck in the face, falling immediately to the ground and holding his face. Sullinger was whistled for a foul on the play. Watch video of that flop at the bottom of this post.
On his second flop, Evans brought the ball up court after a rebound, dishing off to Nets guard Jerry Stackhouse. As he crossed half court, Lakers forward Metta World Peace lightly touched Evans in his back and side with both hands. Evans intentionally lost control of his body, threw his arms up in the air and staggered toward the sidelines as if shoved by World Peace. Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni immediately protested from the sidelines, telling one of the officials that Evans had flopped. Video of that play is at top (via YouTube user NBAGamer44).
World Peace tweeted about flops by Evans and Nets forward Gerald Wallace on Tuesday night.
what was the best flop tonight? out of the three?i am so happy the nba charges $5000 per flop…… the two gerad wallace flops were crazy..lol i am on the court like"what in the world"!!! it is crazy because i am still strong but quicker. i was so nervous when gerald wallace flopped twiced.lol i thought the ref ws going to call a foul on me.. the refs did a good job on the gerald wallace flops… but they missed the reggie evans flop…. its ok.. they will catch the next ones
Evans' second flop, against the Lakers, was very similar to the flop that he was called out for in the league's video. On that play, Evans was singled out for over-exaggerating contact while setting a screen as a member of the Clippers last season.
"The highlighted player, No. 30 in the white uniform, sets a screen on the on-ball defender and then feels slight contact and falls to the floor," the video's narrator explains. "However, the level of contact on the play is inconsistent with the grossly embellished fall to the floor. This was an illegitimate basketball play by No. 30 in the white uniform, intended to draw an unearned defensive foul call. Again, this is a flop that will be penalized."
Evan's first flop, against the Celtics, was similar to a flop perpetrated by Hawks forward Josh Smith in the league's introduction video. During that play, Smith fell quickly to the ground while fighting for a rebound with Celtics forward Paul Pierce.
"As the highlighted defensive player prepares for a potential rebound, he feels slight contact from his opponent in his back," the narrator explains. "He then falls forward and collapses to the floor in an obvious over-embellishment. The actions of the player in the white uniform are inconsistent with the level of contact on the play and is designed to draw an unearned loose ball foul on his opponent. Again, this flop will be penalized."
Here's video of Evans' first flop via YouTube user Beckley Mason.

New American Standard Bible (NASB)
26 [a]Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity,
And I have trusted in the Lord [b]without wavering.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
Test my [c]mind and my heart.
3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,
And I have walked in Your [d]truth.
4 I do not sit with [e]deceitful men,
Nor will I go with [f]pretenders.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
6 I shall wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving
And declare all Your [g]wonders.
8 O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house
And the place [h]where Your glory dwells.
9 Do not [i]take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with men of bloodshed,
10 In whose hands is a wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
12 My foot stands on a level place;
In the congregations I shall bless the Lord.

The headlines were scathing: "AIG Fiddles While Wall Street Burns," "AIG Execs Show Us How to Blow $500K." The White House called it "despicable." Obama demanded the execs behind the trip be fired. I mean, even the invoice for the meeting is posted online!
Yes, the timing of AIG's incentive trip to the St. Regis Monarch Beach in late September — just days after the government issued a $85 billion bailout to the giant insurer (and right before an additional $37.5 billion in taxpayer-funded loans was granted) — was horrendous. But what concerns me even more are the repercussions for the incentive industry.
I was talking to a former GM of another luxury resort in California, who had faced a similar situation years ago — a financially troubled company getting bad press for its incentive at his property. As a result, his business suffered horribly for months. When companies cancel programs, it trickles down to incentive houses, destination management companies, entertainers, speakers, caterers, florists — all small businesses trying to survive in this economy.
Once again, our industry has not succeeded in explaining the business value of meetings and incentives. AIG responded to the scrutiny by agreeing to immediately cancel "all junkets or perks which are not strictly justified by legitimate business needs" — including its annual sales conference! But sales meeting and incentive trips are not junkets. They have nothing in common with the golden parachutes the company doled out as it neared collapse. But unfortunately, the public has lumped all these things together — and our industry will pay. We've lost the perception wars.
As Sue Pelletier, editor of our sister magazine Association Meetings, recently said in a blog on the subject (blog.meetingsnet.com/face2face/): "There's a reason that sales incentives trips have been a staple in business for, well, just about forever." Incentives work: for toddlers, for teenagers, and definitely in business. We all have done an excellent job of providing research to prove it, but not of disseminating those facts to a wider audience.
What we need is for the industry voices and associations and magazines to join forces and create a strong and unified public relations campaign to prove the strategic value of incentives to the business and general press. Unfortunately, our efforts up to this point just haven't gone far enough — and the past few weeks are proof.

Alexandria, Va. - September 5, 2012
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) today announced that it is participating in the Team Up. Pressure Down. program to help hypertensive patients more effectively manage and control their high blood pressure—and ultimately prevent one million heart attacks and strokes by 2017.
Team Up. Pressure Down. is a new pharmacy-focused program developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Million HeartsTM initiative co-led by the CDC and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The program offers time-saving resources—from video vignettes to conversation starters—that encourage and support pharmacists in providing counseling services to their hypertensive patients, with the goal of improving medication adherence (i.e., patients following their medication regimen as prescribed by a doctor). A suite of patient education materials will also be available through the program to help people with high blood pressure take a more active role in self-management efforts and to encourage increased interaction with their pharmacists.
"This is a great opportunity for pharmacists and NCPA is proud to be a partner," NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA said during the Team Up. Pressure Down. launch event with the U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, M.D., MBA, the American Pharmacists Association Foundation, and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy to announce the effort. "As one of the most accessible health care providers, pharmacists can play a significant role in the treatment and prevention of heart disease. Services including blood pressure and lipid monitoring, smoking cessation programs and patient intervention and reminder systems can play a vital role. Many community pharmacists already provide these services on a daily basis and hopefully this campaign will spur greater awareness and utilization of them."
Recent research shows that pharmacist-directed care can improve the management of major cardiovascular risk factors—including hypertension—and has a positive impact on patient health outcomes. Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases kill more than 800,000 adults in the United States each year. Nearly 1 in 3 adults have hypertension and 36 million Americans do not have it under control. Taking hypertension medicines as prescribed can greatly reduce a patient's risk for heart attack and stroke, yet 30 percent stop taking their medicines within six months and 50 percent stop within one year.
Medication non-adherence is a health care crisis adding to the nation's fiscal woes at a cost of nearly $300 billion each year. In response to this ballooning problem, NCPA in 2010 announced an ambitious and multi-faceted plan known as Pharmacists Advancing Medication Adherence (PAMA). Tools of the campaign include Simplify My Meds, which allows pharmacists to coordinate patients' prescription refills to a single day of the month, and a new online resource, www.stick2thescript.org, providing pharmacists and other health care providers with resources help patients understand the goals of their prescription regimen, manage their chronic condition(s) and take their medications as directed.
NCPA has been an active participant in the Million Hearts campaign, featuring articles in NCPA communications like America's Pharmacist magazine, member webinars and posting on NCPA social media vehicles, including Facebook and Twitter.
"We greatly appreciate the Surgeon General's recognition of independent community pharmacists' contribution to public health," Hoey added. "We look forward to new opportunities in the public and private sector to showcase the pharmacist's role in the health care continuum to improve patient care while reducing costs."
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents the interests of America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 independent community pharmacies. Together they represent a $93 billion health care marketplace, dispense nearly 40% of all retail prescriptions, and employ more than 315,000 people, including 62,400 pharmacists. Independent community pharmacists are readily accessible medication experts who can help lower health care spending. They are committed to maximizing the appropriate use of lower-cost generic drugs and reducing the estimated $290 billion that is wasted annually by improper medication use.

4000Li - Passed 6000 mile mark
I have put a little over 6000 miles on my 4000li in 11 months and she is running strong at around 40 mile range per charge with the new charger. My full charge voltage reads right around 79 volts, and I always stop well before 60 volts at rest. My Lithium 40ah cells have a full 2 year warranty on them, and at this point I am pretty certain they must still be operating within spec or my range would be lower. So my plan is to put another 6000 miles on her over the next 11 months, and then tear the bike down and check the cells individually again.
Pete, I was reading some of your posts and wonder if you check ALL of your cells when you charge. Those voltages over 3.7 and up in the 4s don't seem right. If your range was dropping before, then your charger went, and now you are seeing those high numbers on some cells could mean you have 1 or more dead cells. The charger may have been straining to get the pack up to full voltage and that's what killed it. Is your new charger the same as the old one? Most packs end up about 3.4 and change average per cell without a BMS in my experience with several xm3500li (20 40ah TS cells). You must be running 24cells Right? As 20x 3.2vnm=64vnm or about 70v fully charged. I hope you aren't using a 24cell charger on 20cells. As 80v/20batts= about 4v a cell. I've read a few posts with people saying their xm4000li pack was about 80v charged, this doesn't make sense for 20 cells.
Yes, I thought about it and I remember the same thing about the end of charge. I had hooked up little RC/hobby balancing cards as a makeshift BMS. I had some high cells too, but they would come down right away. I top balanced mine with some little 3.6v single cell chargers and that helped. I agree, it's best not to push the charge to long. Sounds like you've got a well matched pack. The most primitive (and simple) form of BMS, or really disaster prevention is to leave the plastic seat compartment off and get in the habit of feeling the batteries once and a while. If one is going bad it will get hot. Eventually you will smell it. Nice job! Keep crankin out the miles!
At 55 degree temps, the meter will drop all the way to the red, and will even flash the red light, so the batteries seem under more stress in the colder weather. Is this normal?
Sadly yes - LiFePO4 like it warm and cuddly, much like us humans :-) Below about 59F battery temp. (not ambient) you will notice serious degradation every 9F colder, and below 41F battery temp. forget it if you need to drive up anything worth being called a mountain. I personally haven't had anything below freezing yet, but at 32F it is a real drag to even just accelerate to sub-highway speeds without read lights all over the dashboard. I need to put in a battery heating means, because I am sure I have won my bet against my GBS cell pack that it will chicken out way before I do in this winter weather :-)
I ride an XM 3500 Li running 22 TS 40 AH cells and live in Portland OR. I don't ride in temps below 40 F and certainly the cells have reduced range and more sag in cooler temps but it won't hurt them. If you look in the Thunder Sky manual there are some specs for cell voltages at different temps. All voltages go lower including the voltage at which cell damage will occur. My bike has no flashing lights and no BMS but do have a Pactrakr and it never gives any warnings unless I go too far which I avoid. In 75 F temps I get 45 mph and a practical range of 30 miles. In 40 degree temps it is reduced to 42.7 mph and 25 mile practical range. Distance and speeds are from a GPS calibrated bike computer which is the best $12 I ever spent. Well almost the best, lol. Acceleration and hill climbing is also reduced. I have thought about some kind of battery heater but to burn up electrons heating my batteries seems to to go against the green in me. Probably just a thick blanket that hangs to the floor and a 100 watt light bulb would be an effective heater. At any rate these lifepo4 cells have lead acid beat all to hell !! Range on my SLA scoots is reduced to half !
That sounds about right. Did you add the two extra cells?
Sadly yes - LiFePO4 like it warm and cuddly, much like us humans :-)
Yes my bike loved it in Florida. It's perfect for them there, warm and flat. I rode it to a shuttle launch, 40 miles each way, loved it! I'm just finding out how much the batteries really don't like this cold. They're fine if I warm them up, but that's not so efficient. Maybe if my wife wouldn't mind if I kept it in the living room. It won't leak oil. Hmmm. If you don't hear from me for awhile, you know what happened.
Do you notice a huge variation in "sag" during colder weather?
Yes, definitely.
No I didn't add the cells. I bought this from EPED who used to be very active on this site. A very nice guy I might add. He did a bunch of really nice upgrades. He built a battery charge balancer that I still use and modified the stock charger to charge the 22 cells. I have about 4500 miles on it now. Had a motor bearing go out and a front caliper leak so not bad for a cheap scooter. The motor bearing replacement was interesting and some work but only cost 12 bucks for both bearings. All in all I'm happy. I'd like to replace the tires though, slippery as heck in the wet !!! They look brand new after 4500 miles and would probably last forever if they don't kill me first !
If you search the site with this title - Thundersky TSL60-10 XM-3500 Charger Mod for 21 Cells - and then click on it again you will come up with EPED's post about changing the charger to charge 21 cells. He later changed the resistors again for the 22 cell mod. I think I have the values for the 22 cell mod in some stuff that came with the scoot. It will have to wait till after Christmas for me to find it but I will post it soon. The charger works great and charges just to 80 volts. Not sure if you have a BMS but if not be very careful string charging with 2 new cells. They might go very high or low I'm not sure as they will react differently than the ones with 6000 miles on them.. The new cells on my bike were added with only like 100 miles on them and they balance with or without the charge balancer EPED built. My experience with SLA batteries is that when you replace one battery in a pack that bad things can happen with regards to voltages and balance. Probably the same with these cells too. You could charge the extra two cells with a separate charger but might be hard to find a 10 amp charger for two cells. I you connect them between the last cell and the circuit breaker the stock charger will only charge the 20 cells and the voltage regulator for the 12 volt supply will only see 20 cells. I have tried this and it worked with no problems. Make sure the power wire to the controller and the charge wire only go to the Pos side of the 20th cell. Be careful !! You can vaporize things with that much voltage not to mention yourself.
Good luck. Garry
One problem with doing that is that the low voltage cut off on those controllers is set at 52v or 2.6v per cell (52v divided by the # of cells). If you add 2 batteries, 52/22= 2.36v. Your low voltage won't kick in till it's to late and you will damage the batteries. Also the stock charge won't produce enough voltage to fully charge the pack. You either have to never run your pack down real low if you do this, or get a controller with a programmable LVC,BMS, or cycle Analyst. I use the TSL72-15 on mine to charge 24 cells, but it looks like they don't sell the at Elite any more.
These chargers are suitable for 24 cell charge. (87v)
No the stock charger won't charge to high enough voltage. On your 4000li I bet you could fit 28 cells just like this.
That's what's under the seat of my 3500li. If that can take it I'm sure your 4000 can handle the volts. To do this (if you want)Just take the circuit breaker off the seat compartment and mount it somewhere under that compartment. Two 12v car batteries will fit in that space under the plastic seat compartment. If you wire them in series, you can test to see the extra power you will get before buying the lithium batts. You'll be surprised, it's allot. I got 6mph per 4pack on my 3500li. I would just wait for the warranty to run out first probably.
This charger would be good for 28cells
As you can see I have isolator switches and a second four cell charger in there. With the charger above, all that will be unnecessary.
Also, love the back tire! Will give you a little higher speed. Also, I hear that those controllers are regen capable. Someone needs to find out how to activate it. That thing is HUGE. Look at the size of my 250amp Kelly.
Okay, so your 3500li is really no longer a 3500li :0 In fact you have surpassed the 5000li with 28 cells, and your motor is obviously not stock.
That motor looks like the Xiamen ZAP/Erider 5...8kW 13in motor in my bike.
My rear tire actually looks larger in that picture that in real life. I went from the 130/60-13 stock size to a 150/70-13 Dunlop, which I believe increased the diameter by about 2 inches. (19 to 21) Or something like that. It rides really nicely on that tire, and the grip is outstanding. I did lose a little acceleration, and I think it helped my speedometer accuracy.
The speedo pickup is at the front wheel, so unless you put the same tire up front it's accuracy won't have changed a bit. But indeed your top speed should be a little higher with that larger circumfrence on the rear wheel, as you have effectively changed the motor's "gearing", i.e. distance covered per rpm in relation to motor rpm is now larger than before.
One possibly intersting thing to ponder: what will your insurance say if you have a speed-related accident and they realize you have mounted a rear tire that is larger in circumfrence than the vehicle CoC and related papers state? Or rather is of a different dimension altogether? Here in Germany I could get into trouble with all sorts of folks for this: police, the biennial technical checkup guys, or the insurance in case of an accident...
I must admit though that I have also entertained the thought of mounting such a 13in 150/70 tire back there for the purpose of getting my max speed closer to the promised 95 to 100km/h instead of my stock 86 at fresh charge :-)
Torque with my more powerful Kelly would surely still be sufficient for great acceleration despite the higher tramission ratio...
Hmmm, that speedo thing is intriguing indeed! What is clear is that the controller of a brushless PM-synchronous motor is at all times informed of the exact rotational location of the rotor, i.e. the wheel, and thus also of it's current RPM value. It is not entierly unlikely that a speedometer could gain wheel rpm information both from the front wheel and the hub motor and create a mean from that as long as RPM info is avaiable from both. But the reason you could not see any speedo reaction while spinning just the front wheel could also be because it may be an electronic speedo which will only show life when it is supplied with sufficient electrical power...
I cannot simply fit a larger tire in these quarters as I would get inot multiple trouble, just as I wrote. And not for speed reasons, mind you, I myself could go as fast as my two wheels can carry me, but tires on two-wheeled vehciles are taken extremely seriously here in Germany. Actually many motorcycles have a mandatory tire size AND MAKE registered in their papers, so they cannot even be fitted with another manufactureres tire of the same size and class without having to go through an individual and very costly test process.
Thankfully this very rigorous regimentation does not apply to scooters using 130/60-13 tires, so I have a large choice of manufacturers to pick from, but I cannot just put on a larger tire size :-(
Okay, so your 3500li is really no longer a 3500li :0 In fact you have surpassed the 5000li with 28 cells, and your motor is obviously not stock. How many watts are you running?
I'm still using my stock motor. I've seen short spikes to 10kw but it generally runs at about it's rated 3.5kw at top speed on level ground (48mph for 24cells). It rarely draws more than about 6kw for any length of time. The motors like yours and the ones on Some of the XM5000s that have that smaller diameter (notice the difference in the two motors. tend to overheat on long high speed runs. You would use the 72v charger for 24 cells not the 84v. Those numbers are the nominal voltage for the pack. A 72v charger actually charges up to 87v for example. You're getting good speed, maybe you should leave well enough alone. My 3500 only did 42mph when I got it, that's why I did the mods. I wouldn't really want to go any faster than about 60mph on one of these scooters. One advantage to running at higher voltage is that you draw less amps to produce the same amount of watts, as volts times amps equal watts. So you run cooler.
Here is some chat on the two different motors from a couple years ago.
Does the plug on the kelly mount up with the stock plugin on our Xtreme Li Bikes?
No,you have to splice it in to the existing wires. They call it an aviation connector, But the way they can loosen up, I sure wouldn't fly anything with one. At least on my 3500, when you looked at the wiring from the controller to the motor,the big leads on the motor side appeared to be hard wired in. On closer inspection I noticed that under the shrink wrap were paddle connectors that are screwed together. For the round (aviation) connector (small wires) you have to butt splice them together. It sounds like you are doing fine as is, but if you did anything I would just add 4 batts and get a new charger to match. You might try to find a 15 amp charger like mine. It only takes me 2.67 hours to charge from empty.
Sounds like a great place for riding. My sisters both went to ASU and I remember riding my sisters scooter around Papago park (gas powered). This was in the 70's. I was 13 I think, I remember the park as being very beautiful, with lots of good rock climbing.
My controller is mounted like the stock 3500li controller was, on the 3500 you could hardly see it. Yes having yours mounted where it is must help allot with the high temps you ride in. An additional heatsink might be a cheap way to aid cooling.
From what I understand one thing that determines the temperature relation between the controller and the motor is the frequency of the pulse. The controller has to work harder to chop up the pulses finer so it gets hot. If you go the other way, and program the pulses further apart, then the motor runs less efficient, and it gets hot. So it's a matter of finding a balance point where they both get warm instead of one getting hot. I could have this backwards as I am a novice at this, this is just something I heard. Maybe someone will confirm or clarify this.
Anyway glad you're having fun with your electric ride, let us know if you up your voltage and the controller temps come down. I don't know what those controllers are rated for or if they are limited. Maybe someone will know.
It is not entirely unlikely that a speedometer could gain wheel rpm information both from the front wheel and the hub motor and create a mean from that as long as RPM info is available from both.
I bet it's just a cable speedo, I can't believe they made a change like that in this model. It would have to be a digital display.
That is weird though.
MeRoller have you ever had the seat cover off your thunder and taken pictures? Is it as easy to access the batteries as the XM/E-Fun based model?
MeRoller have you ever had the seat cover off your thunder and taken pictures? Is it as easy to access the batteries as the XM/E-Fun based model?
The whole crate is currently almost naked because I intend to put in a battery heating means (you guys in Arizona are quite lucky in this respect...). And no, getting to the battery is nothing short of a pain in a.., and all sorts of other body parts are also painfully stressed when having to tear down more or less the whole bike in order to get to the battery. With the older Efun/Erider X.../ VK2008 design it is probably a lot easier to get at the innards than on the newer Thunder etc. design. Sharp as it may look...
Is your rpm limited by the controller (and thus the top speed?) Because I think you are running highter wattage than I am. 5000 watts? How many cells.
No, RPM is solely limited by back-EMF when without load and under load by voltage sag due to the rather high impedance of the GBS 40Ah cells. 24 of those are on board, and this is a 5kW continuous / 8.something kW peak Xiamen ZAP 13 inch motor. I am told that with 24 CHL 40 or 50Ah cells top speed is closer to the promised 95km/h / 59mph...

"Her first reaction was to run and when she noticed the man was chasing her she ran even faster."
Geneva Belgrave says she's proud of her 10-year-old daughter after the little girl escaped from a man police say tried to abduct her and then helped investigators track the suspect down.
"She gave them a perfect description of the man and the car, what he had on, what he looked like...to a tee," Belgrave told FOX 29's Dave Schratwieser.
Belgrave spoke exclusively to FOX 29 after Upland Borough Police arrested 37-year-old school bus driver Gregory Cornell of Chester.
Investigators say he chased the little girl down the 200 block of Ninth Street Sunday afternoon. She got away.
Minutes later, police say Cornell was stopped in his car nearby and positively identified by the victim. He was arrested with over 150 bags of heroin, crack cocaine, cash and a sex toy in his car.
"I'm very proud of her. One of her favorite shows is America's Most Wanted," Belgrave said. "I thank God that nothing happened to her."
"Glad they caught this guy," said neighbor Jim Redden.
"Upland Police Department, good job, tell them they did a good job," another neighbor told FOX 29.
Makaishia Burch lives just two blocks away from where the attempted abduction occurred. She has a 10-year-old daughter of her own.
"It's scary, and she doesn't look like the typical 10 year old, which doesn't help the matter, so I'm real leary about situations like that," Burch said.
Police say Cornell drives a bus for the Penn-Delco School District, something that bothered neighbors here even more.
"They should be screening these guys better than to have them out here driving these kids around," Burch said.
"What are they doing. They need to be checking them better For real," neighbor Deborah Kowlaski.
"It's sad, it's disgusting. I'm glad he's caught," Belgrave added.
Cornell was charged with attempted abduction and ordered held on $150,000 bail.
In a statement issued by the school district, a spokesperson says the district was aware of the charges filed against one of its bus drivers. District officials say the driver has been suspended and relieved of duty.
"The district stands ready to support law enforcement authorities in their investigation as needed," the statement read.
The district does not believe that any of the alleged activities occurred during hours in which the driver was working for the district.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Can you help decipher kamikaze insignia?
1:00pm Sunday 15th December 2013 in News
A RARE Japanese kamikaze aircraft, an Ohka 2, which has been hanging from the rafters of the Fleet Air Arm Museum for more than 30 years, has been removed in preparation for a new display to commemorate the War in the Pacific.
Now available for closer inspection, it has revealed some intriguing markings which the Museum are seeking help in translating.
The markings are found in two places. On the left hand side of the aircraft and on the hatch-cover which would have been opened to arm 1 ¼ tons of explosives in the nose of the aircraft.
Another marking on the side of the aircraft is that of a cherry blossom, from which the Ohka takes its name. The Ohka or cherry blossom is a Japanese symbol of flowering and rebirth.
There are thought to be fewer than 12 Ohka 2 kamikaze aircraft in existence today.
When used towards the end of the Second World War, they were fixed to the underside of Mitsubishi G4M bombers (nicknamed 'Betty bombers' by the Americans).
They were flown to a height of 12,000 feet and released in a steep dive during which three solid fuel rockets would be ignited enabling the aircraft to reach speeds of up to 475mph and travel distances of 21 miles before reaching its target.
Museum spokesman Jon Jefferies said: "It is chilling to look through the cockpit window of this piloted rocket and through the ringed sight.
"There's a grab handle fixed to the inner wall of the cockpit as acceleration generated by the three solid fuel rockets would have been incredible."
The aircraft will eventually undergo a detailed forensic process during which the paint applied after the war, will be removed layer by layer to return it to its original paintwork and markings.
This process has been pioneered by the Fleet Air Arm Museum and used to return a Second World War Corsair to its original paintwork and markings and is currently nearing completion on a Grumman Martlet.
If you are able to assist in the translation of the Japanese insignia on the Ohka, please contact the Museum's curator of aircraft, Dave Morris, via firstname.lastname@example.com

You had to blow the duck call a couple of times to start the trial. Rookie handler did and quietly said sit. Dog ran a perfect water triple and had a near perfect trial all weekend. Trainer that walked off to prove a point to the judges was that he disagreed with their call.His point as also a judge is we as judges are here to judge the dog and should not have disquailified the dog on that minor infraction. Again up to that point the dog was flawless and so was the handler. Point is also made that we need to keep people interested in the sport.I am also a rookie at this game with a 16 month old lab that is being trained. I joined the club in Saulk Rapids and actively participated in their test this last winter. Had a lot of fun. Not sure what to think about the above. I also train with the walk off trainer and I gained a lot of respect for him that day. He handled himself very professionaly and showed the judges no disrespect. Interesting I also atteneded a judging seminar this past winter at my club that was conducted by AKC. The instructor we had I am pretty sure would have not called that a controled break and pulled the handler off to the side and corrected his mistake. He really drove home the point that as judges we are there to judge the dog.

To Fit Verve/Vibe and Promenade Pushchair
Order in the next 6 hours 49 minutes for express home delivery on Friday
The Vibe soft cocoon gives you the opportunity to lift a sleeping baby from the buggy without disturbing them.
I cant wait to use my pram now. Fits really well on my promenade and is going to keep baby much more snug and warm throughout the winter months
I wasn't going to get one due to added expense and the short ammount of time they are in them. However, I like the idea of your baby facing you instead of away from you held in by the straps of the pram. Good yo use in the house for naps too.
Brilliant product! Agree with previous review about lack of instructions (I've found this generally with P&T things). The cocoon unfortunately has a short life span (up to 14 wks for us) but is so useful it's worth it for that time. Would like the mattress to be washable tho, as although I use a sheet & muslin i seem to still get marks on it. Great for days out and when at toddler groups with my older child so the baby isn't stuck in her car seat all the time.
Its a lovely item, practical and easy to clean but there are no manufacturers instructions on how to attach it to the buggy so its a bit trial and error!

A new way to serve Missoula's homeless families
Homelessness is a stubborn and pervasive problem in many places - including, of course, Missoula.
Several local nonprofit service providers, along with the City of Missoula, announced this week they're shifting their approach to helping homeless families.
The Coordinator of "Reaching Home: Missoula's 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness", concedes the "Housing First" model won't completely solve the problem, but Michael Moore says it's proven to have helped other communities.
He explains in this evening's feature interview with Edward O'Brien.
First, more on Missoula's homeless population.

AHi guys,
I've just found this forum and I thought to join it, at least to give some satisfaction to my geeky side.
Since you all seem so knowledgeable about iPhones and Apps, I'd like to ask you some info about an app.
I heard they have launched a new free iPhone App called vampcasting, that you can download at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vampc...448922429?mt=8
Basically, it allows you to take a photo of yourself in order to be shortlisted for an incoming movie called Vampire Wedding.
Your photo is then placed on www.facebook.com/vampirewedding and, on the basis of the number of likes it gets, they decide whether to feature you in the film.
Has anybody already tried this App and would like to share their impressions?
